2nd try!

     One of my cornfields was a solid mat of new corn plants. The rows of corn I planted were indistinguishable from the volunteer corn left over from last year. Corn does not like to be crowded so this situation called for a remedy. As thick as it was very little of it would mature into stalks with ears.  My corn cultivator is long gone so cultivation wasn't a possible solution. What to do? I tilled the field and replanted it. Likely there will still be volunteer corn but hopefully there will be less of it. Replant, and  it is early enough that the corn will reach sufficient maturity by fall. Because I don't harvest it  moisture content is not an issue.

Takk for alt,
